We hear little about his good rides, and very little about other jocks "bad " rides. How about Prado's ride on Round Pond. Why be on the lead there? There were a few speeds lined up, and the horse isn't a need the lead type. Something was obviously wrong with her that day, but why be up on the lead. And I know there is no way to defend his ride on Pulpiteer a few weeks back. As bad or worse as I have seen this year. Take a peek at that one and tell me what you think.

Pulpiteer was blocked with nowhere to go.
lets get back to Gomez' ride, although I'm sure you would rather not and already have seen it.
Wanted no part of the pace huh? Funny that she stalked the pac in her debut when HE RODE HER!! and she rolled. Last time out at Calder she was trapped on a very dead rail and cut a wicked 1/4.
The pace yesterday was moderate with a freerunning loose horse. he had perfect position and for no reason in a 6F race decided to stand up and wrangle her back, and then forced to go very wide. Why do you figure this mental midget decided that a horse with a tactical speed edge on the filed who had broken sharply and had assumed perfect position needed to do that?
Get back to me when you have any idea, because I sure as hell don't.
